Hello, my EB-1 I-140 was filed on October 13th 2003, was approved on December 22nd 2004.

What do I do now ? Wait for the I-485 approval (which should happen within the next 4 months, since they are processing the I-485 filed in June 2003 at the present time) and then await a green card in the mail? I already gave my fingerprints..

Or is there an interview ?? what are the steps left before I actually get the GC in my hand ?

Thanks and Happy holidays !

From what I have been reading lately, there is a good chance the AOS approval will come shortly after. When you do receive the I-485 approval, you go down to your local USCIS office with the approval, some pictures of yourself, and your passport and they will stamp a temporary I-551 into your passport. They will take your fingerprint and send you on your way. The card will arrive in the mail some time before the next election.

Wait for I-485 approval letter, after receiving the letter go get passport stamped and wait one more time for plastic card. If you do not get the plastic card within 60 days, call the number given by USCIS to enquire the status of your green card. Good luck!
